Actually, since there was a whole Second Dimension thing that happened with Phineas and Ferb, does that mean it was the Dimension Bill ended up killing?
 
They must have been a, strange, adjustment for our citizens. And police officers. And everyone.
Being vague to avoid the politics rule, having the polite and patient Normbots take over was probably not even a concern.

What with the looming food crisis and several states disappearing/becoming uninhabitable.

More importantly: Is the Resistance here against us...
THE ONE FROM THE SECOND DIMENSION?

I dont remember what sparked the idea but GUYS
IT'S POSSIBLE

Oh I'm not even talking about how much of, an, err.

Just what would it look like? Can you imagine civilians seeing Normbots where we might see police officers? It would be interesting.

I've said it before, I'll say it again DC 5!

We'd be lucky to get a single low stat named character.

... Ok first question do our Normbots look like the second dimension ones or are they Norm shaped.

The second dimension in P&F refers to order of discovery; in it, P&F earth is the first dimension, and there are a total of 23 in the loop. It's just a way of labelling it; it would have been perfectly valid to call them, say, the 17th and 18th dimensions, if you started counting somewhere else. Bill CIpher's second dimension, meanwhile, refers to dimensions of space, like length and width. In this case, second dimension is a descriptor of its physical laws, not the order in which it was first visited by the cast of the series.
 
Just to clarify, the campaign I run in the DVV setting has no influence on the quest.
To add on to that: The games we do have no direct influence on the quest, but our prior campaign concepts, story arcs, and notable characters may end up recycled wherever they might fit here. Its efficient, and cleaning up successful ideas from our games for DoofQuest gives you get a more polished experience!
 
If you mean that time I listed some of the most obvious threats and used REDACTED because I thought it would be funny and didn't want to spoil things, you got it a bit wrong. I'm not a part of MiH's game group, I'm just a lurking person who did his research. As for REDACTED itself... We already have enough paranoia in this of thread, like that Mirage hypnotic incident that, as if summoned by David Copperfield out of nowhere. I don't want to nix the fun out of the reveal. ;) Plus I have no want to wake up tommorow morning and see this thread land in flames because of something yall really shouldn't be worried about this early.
Oh, I haven't search the Doc because I don't want to be spoiled. My apologies for assuming incorrectly.
 
Fun fact, one of the characters in my Gridlocked game is named Maj and is from Sky High. For a second I thought you'd gotten ahold of our logs somehow and I was very confused.

Magenta is a very real character from Sky High, she has the power to transform into a Guinea Pig (which has her hair highlights.).

For those not aware of the three heroes mentioned, "Zach Attack" has the power of Glow In The Dark, and Ethan ("Popsicle") can shift into a puddle-like fluid state that he has some amount of control over. Also mentioned but currently babies were Will Stronghold, who may or may not have superpowers at that point (he got his fairly late in canon, though actually not that much later than Zach did) and if he does it's super strength (he also gets flight at the end of the movie, something that was foreshadowed but would almost certainly have been after him getting Pacified anyway), and Layla Williams, who is a sweet, pacifist vegetarian... which is a good thing because she has frankly fucking terrifying plant control powers, like "grow whole trees in seconds from nothing" terrifying, and her literal only noted flaw in her power is that she has issues making lemons for some reason.
 
I don't know why you're assuming that Doof's current territory wasn't part of other people's before he claimed it. I rather assumed he took a big bite out of Kronos, Toffee and Shego to get where he is and Doof is the reason for his own clean state borders because of his obsession with the Tri-State area specifically.
Why didn't Syndrome try to take over Salt Lake City? Who says he didn't before Doof booted him out?
Oh, I didn't think of this before, but if I'm right, it would probably give Toffee a reason to dislike us. And Syndrome and Shego, but we killed one and have been making semi-diplomatic overtures to the other.
 
And we don't actually see him die. (Unless I just missed it).

He could be securely locked up and mind controlled by the new king.

Nah, someone made a canon omake where Syndrome tried to escape, but failed. Sinatron then told him what had happened at Kronos Corp. and killed him before leaving to join up
 
Syndrome saw red. He flailed pointlessly at the feet of the android, who stepped backwards disdainfully.

"Funny old world, isn't it. One minute you're top a tha' heap, next, here's to the losers."

Sinatron leaned down. "I suppose that's all I wanted to say Buddy. World's moving on. The best is yet to come and, I promise you… we'll get along without you very well."

Sinatron left Buddy lying on the floor of the casino, walking slowly out to gaze down over the city of Las Vegas. The lights of the Strip shone down upon a rusting Omnidroid. The supers slowly gathered around him.

Can't tell either way. He's either left on the floor dead or left on the floor alive.

It doesn't even say Sinatron did anything to him.

It be nice if he were dead though. Nothing worse that a villain coming back at you from out of nowhere.
 
Interlude: Consternation of Ninjutsu
You plod into your office with a pleasantly relaxed stride. The endless deluge of duties and responsibilities have finally let up, giving you more time to focus on your mechanical pursuits. In fact, you're still in your bunny slippers, and you've only just arrived settled down in your office. You've only got the one appointment for today, with…

"Hey Janice." You ask after a further three mint bowl attempts. "Why do I have a 2:30 appointment for 'ninj-"

"NINJAS, ATTACK!"

You hear the unexpected declaration from outside your door. You tilt your head curiously, and wait a few moments. The declaration is then followed by a series of screams of fear, terror, and pain as whoever made it comes across your Hall of Traps.

You listen more closely. There's the sound of the gravity springboard, That was the half-eaten croissant you'd used as bait for the Existential-Inator getting stepped on. That was the sound of the quicksand pit, and that was the Place-a-Glass-Wall-In-Front-Of-Whoever-Stands-Near-It-Inator. Hrm. That last one seemed a little slow. Maybe you shouldn't have made it say its own name out loud on every activation.

About a minute later, a quartet of ninja stagger through your door, bedraggled, bruised, and battered. Behind them, in the reception room, are another small group of ninja, each identical to the others in identical black jumpsuits and identical black face masks.

"We bow to your superior skill, oh great Sensei." The lead ninja says.

The most stereotypical of the four, he wears a dark blue armored suit, with a mask covering everything but his eyes and the massive cross-shaped scar between them. He carries a sword in one hand, with another attached to a scabbard on his waist. The metal plate protecting his forehead is thick and dull.

"I am Tobe. My Vagabond Ninja, Jumong, Jing-Jing, and Binggure, require your instruction. You are the master of this place, correct?"

"Well, yes, but-"

"Teach us!" the other three beg in unison.

It was difficult to know where to begin describing them. The first, Jumong, is a head taller than the rest, a hulking man with pallid skin and a simple topknot who holds a skull-topped staff. The second, Jing-Jing, the only one of the three not wearing black, is a reasonably normal-looking young woman with black hair and a red suit. The third, Binggure, for a reason you cannot fathom, has shocking red hair and face paint that puts you in mind of a circus clown. A ninja circus clown, but a circus clown all the same.

"Silence yourselves!" Tobe shouted. "Do not beg! But, uh… yes sensei, we would very much like to be trained please."

Teach them? Well… you did have that idea for online classes in the back of your head, probably a good way to keep the education rate up in Doofania and quite possibly poach talent from SFIT or any other schools, but you never had the time to actually get that off the ground. "Eh? Train you in what?" you asked.

"Your incredible ninjutsu prowess!"

"Do you think this is some sort of evil dojo?"

"Of course!" The four replied in unison.

You look around the room, taking in the purple shag carpet, the acid green wallpaper, the jet-black sconces on the wall that glowed with ultraviolet light, the vaguely Gothic-looking chandeliers, the various bits of scientific equipment lying around, the unkempt mess of notes that was your desk...

"Okay, I can kiiiinda see how you got the impression, maybe, if you squint. But this isn't a dojo!"

"But the famed Momakase set foot here! She is the greatest ninja in all of San Fransokyo. Perhaps even the whole Bay Area!"

You have to think for a minute. The last time you remember seeing Momakase was back at the Sands Gala, and before that was… "That was almost a year ago!"

"Well…" Tobe cast about for a moment. "What about those two having a sparring match down in the lobby?!?!"

---

Ghenghis Khan eyed his disciple carefully. "Show me vhat you haf learned, small vun."

"Yes sir, Mr. Khan! Ahem. Hiyaaaaaaaa-ve a sandwich!"

---

"Okay, you've got me there." You admit.

"Aha! I knew it! The smoggy skies, the hordes of identical minions, the scarily-muscled second in command! You may look like a barely-fit 40-something pharmacist, but secretly you are a master of secret ninja techniques of secret supernatural power! You must train me! I must become the greatest, most magical ninja in the world!"

"Uh, Boss?" Binggure said hesitantly. "I don't think ninja magic is real. It's just in those cartoons you watch."

"They are not cartoons! They are art! And what are you talking about? Jumong is a shaman!"

"Well yeah." Jumong admitted, waving his skull staff around. "But that's not ninja magic. Just regular magic."

"Hmm. It is hard to find people with both sneaky and spell-y experience…"

"Then you'll train us?"

"Well, I don't know about that." You said, looking over the tattered mass of misfits in front of you. "You four seem a bit-"

"We'll do your chores!" Binggure the clown offered. Tobe slapped them on the head.

"Ehh what they mean to say is that we will, of course, repay your tutelage by acting as your agents across the world."

"That reminds me." you say. "Where do you guys come from?"

"Sooga Village. In the ancient and mythical land of Zhongguo." Tobe declared.

"So China?"

"I think so." Jumong confirmed. "That's where Santa lives, right?"

You change the subject. "So. How did you get to Doofania?"

"We took a cab."

"Fair enough."

"Wait." Binggure blinked. "We're Chinese?!?!"

You stare at them. "...Look, I'm not sure this is gonna work ou-"

"But destiny itself has guided us!" Jumong the shaman said. He held out what was clearly a fortune cookie from a local chinese restaurant.

You took the cookie from him and cracked it open, reading it aloud.

"A great evil has been unleashed?" you ask. "I'm flattered, guys, really, but--"

"No wait sorry." Jumong said. "Wrong one."

He held out another cookie, this one already opened.

"Get… a… job."

Huh. Now that they mention it, that does sound like something you'd put in a cookie.

"But where to get a job? Fate smiled upon us, for the fortune provided that as well!"

You flipped it over. On the back was a list of nutritional information, quite cleverly disguising the use of cricket flour by using its scientific name Gryllidae, and underneath that was the factory information.

"Evilly manufactured by the Doofenshmirtz Evil Confectionery Plant, a subsidiary of Doofenshmirtz Evil Incorporated."

"We could hardly believe our luck when the waitress at the Copper Cat gave us a box of these for free! Not only did we get something to eat for the night, we received a piece of valuable destiny advice."

It is hard to argue with destiny. "And you say you'll all do whatever I say?"

"Absolutely!" Jing-Jing replied. "You can't be any worse of a leader than Tob-- OW!"

"We even come with our own evil ninja minions!" Tobe declared, gesturing to the squad of ninja, several of which were poking some of your still-active traps with impressively terminal curiosity.

"You know what, sure! I like the cut of your jibs. I'll give you a trial run!"

"Yes!" All four of them cheered. "We'll go set up on the lobby couches."

"What?"

"Well, we're not called the Stable Housing Ninja."

---

Tobe has been unlocked as a hero unit! He comes with a vaguely-defined number of ninja mooks, as well as the Vagabond Ninjas: Jumong, Jing-Jing, and Binggure! They contribute very little to his statline!
